Pirie.Long caught between powerful neighbours, Ladakh is now a border region in the vast Indian nation state. In this detailed, anthropological study Fernanda Pirie traces the ways order has been created by, but also despite and in defiance of, the powerful external forces of religion, war, politics and wealth. Gradually a clear analysis unfolds of the subtle dynamics that have long characterised relations between local communities and centres of power and which can successfully be applied to the wider region. This exemplary study of conflict resolution brings to light the means by which small communities, both rural and urban, negotiate peace amidst the heterogeneous forces of modernity, while at the same time critically re-examining theories that over-emphasize the explanatory power of Buddhism. This rich ethnographic account of local practices fills a conspicuous gap in secondary literature on Tibetan law.Brill's Tibetan studies library ;v. 13.Ladākh (India)Social life and customsLadākh (India)BoundariesLadākh (India)Politics and governmentElectronic books.954/.6Pirie Fernanda1964-928745MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451439903321Peace and conflict in Ladakh2094042UNINA
